2000 ans de colmatage du port antique de Fréjus (Forum Julii), France : une double métamorphose littorale

Abstract: de Fre ´jus, situe ´sur les marges d'une ancienne ria holoce `ne, a fait l'objet d'un programme de recherches arche ´ologiques et pale ´o-environnementales. Nous avons pu effectuer des carottages dans le bassin portuaire romain. L'e ´tude haute-re ´solution des se ´diments a pour objectif la caracte ´risation et la reconstitution chrono-stratigraphique et bio-se ´dimentologique des milieux. Ces travaux ont permis : (1) de valider l'hypothe `se de Texier (1849) qui interpre `te le milieu pre ´-portuaire comme c… Show more

“…In Fréjus, located in Southeastern Provence, recent research undertaken by the local council's archaeological department has brought to light a large fish tank dating to the Roman period. The tank, discovered in 2008, is located on the Kipling excavation at the Northeastern corner of the former Roman harbor (Gébara & Morhange, 2010;Bony et al, 2011) and sheds new light on RSL in the Northwestern Mediterranean during the Roman period, complementing preliminary data obtained in the same area by Devillers et al (2007) and . Using the palaeozonation of fossil marine organisms attached to the walls of the fish tank, we report new RSL index points.…”

“…We understand that this smaller basin was implemented to alleviate rapid silting of the main fish tank (Figure ). In spite of these measurements, the whole fish tank was completely silted and abandoned around 60–70 A.D. in a context of high sediment supply and low‐energy conditions (Bony et al, ).…”

“…) is recorded. At the present stage of investigation, it cannot be ascertained if this slight shallowing tendency was determined by natural phenomena, such as the accretion of infratidal bottom sediment, or if it was in some way related to the construction of artificial barriers within the harbor (piers of 1st century A.D.), as pointed out in the Roman harbor of Fréjus in France (Bony, Morhange, Bruneton, & Gébara, ).…”

“…8.1), prouve en effet que le secteur au sud du port se trouvait en milieu marin dans les dernières décennies avant le changement d'ère (Excoffon & Devillers, 2006 ;Devillers et al, 2007). Les faciès marins identifiés à la base de trois carottages prélevés à l'intérieur du bassin portuaire confirment que le port n'a pas été aménagé dans une lagune mais dans un fond de baie marine, protégée par l'excroissance rocheuse de la Butte Saint-Antoine (Gébara & Morhange, 2010 ;Bony et al, 2011). Malgré les incertitudes chronologiques liées à la marge d'imprécision des datations radiocarbone obtenues dans les carottages du port (Bony et al, 2011) et à l'absence de datation archéologique des structures portuaires (Gébara & Morhange, 2010), la confrontation des données archéologiques et paléoenvironnementales a permis de proposer une reconstitution de la configuration du port à la fin du I er siècle av.…”
